The field itself will scroll but that's all, you'll have to manage the 
group scroll yourself. If you're using a native iOS scroller you'll need 
to adjust that too. Probably the best way would be to note the starting 
scroll of the field before the find command, calculate the difference 
afterward, and then adjust the group and iOS scroller to the same amount.
